My BP has been on the higher side last few visits and gynac is monitoring it. Im 30 weeks. At what point do they usually start medicines for it? just trying to understand what to expect.
According to guidelines and what my doctor told me, antihypertensives are started if blood pressure is consistently high (usually 140/90 or above) to prevent preeclampsia. You must consult your gynecologist immediately for a safe prescription.
This is a serious medical question. You should not decide this on your own or ask online. If your BP is high, go to your gynac immediately and let them prescribe the right medicine.
High BP with twins was no joke, but please do not take any medicine on your own. Only your doctor can tell you the exact reading when you need to start antihypertensive pills. Get your BP checked regularly.
I had high BP and my doctor started my medicines in the second trimester after checking my reports. Honestly, just follow your doctor's advice blindly on this, don't search online and stress yourself out!
I had both high sugar and fluctuating BP. My doctor monitored my BP closely and started safe medication the moment it crossed a certain limit. Please consult your doctor and don't delay.
